This method of selective color can be used in Photoshop and GIMP both:

First open your photo in your editing program!.!.

Then go to Layer - Duplicate Layer

Click OK

Then go to Image - Adjustments - Hue / Saturation

Drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left to make the photo black and white!.

Click OK

Then get the ERASER tool from the tool box on the left side of the screen!. It is usually the next tool under the clone stamp tool!. Just hover your mouse over the tool, and it will say Eraser!.

When you have selected the Eraser, go up to the Brush options box at the top of the screen, and click on the downfacing arrow!. Set the Hardness of the brush to 100% so you will have accurate control of selection!. You may also need to raise or lower the brush size to suit!.

Erase away any black and white from where you want the color to be revealed!.

When done go to
Layer - Flatten Image

Then just do a Save As to wherever you want to save the photo!.

You can probably do it with another similar program, but this is how you would do it with photoshop!.

High light what you want to be colored!. Turn it into a new layer!. Go to the back ground layer and turn it black and white by turning the saturation all the way down!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
